The Faculty
It is the oldest faculty in Catalonia in this field and continues the tradition of two former faculties: the Faculty of Economics and Business Studies, which trained the first graduating class of economists in Catalonia (1954-1959), and the University School of Business Studies, which trained many generations of business graduates since 1850.
These two centres merged in July 2008 and created the current Faculty of Economics and Business.
Our defining features are:
Our bachelor’s degrees, which are open to everyone and aim to provide a general training for the preparation of professional practices in the spirit of the European Higher Education Area.Our commitment to internationalization, with an offer of one bachelor’s degree and three master’s degrees in English, as well as subjects taught in English in other bachelor’s and master’s degrees.
The promotion of internships and entrepreneurship, with a wide range of internship agreements and a pioneering workspace for entrepreneurial projects within the Catalan university system.
A wide-ranging offer of postgraduate studies in the field of research and doctoral training and in specialized and professional training.
A large offer of international exchange agreements (European Erasmus+ programs and global agreements with North America, Latin America, Asia, and Oceania).
Quality research, with 22 research groups consolidated by the Government of Catalonia, more than 200 active researchers and three platforms gathering research: UB School of Economics, UB Business School and UB Sociology.
The departments are the basic teaching and research units at the University and are specifically responsible for the teaching tasks commended to them by the academic councils. Each department has a director, a secretary and a departmental council formed by its PDI, its PTGAS and a representation of students of the courses in which the departments participate. Some departments are structured in departmental sections.
The Administration of the Center is the management unit of the administrative and management units for students and the PDI, and the PTGAS that are assigned to the centre administration. The faculty administrator is responsible for the management of the centre and the person assigned by the General Management’s Office.
Services: location, internal organization, staff and contact details.
Equality and sustainability, together with social commitment, frame the internal activity of the Faculty. The internal and external communication of the Faculty’s academic life, in teaching, research and transfer, is a central element of accountability to society.
Request form for activity dissemination.
We provide all members with services and equipment to support study, teaching and research, which should enable all groups to carry out university activities in the best possible way.
Some examples of these services are the computer rooms (equipped for the teaching staff, students and PTGAS of the Faculty), the library (with bibliographic resources to support teaching and research programmes of the Faculty), the Language Services (with language courses and resources for the University community) and other spaces such as workrooms or locker rental.
